Please excuse the terrible photo, camera charger is currently hiding in a bag of wires so this is taken with my rubbish phone camera...

These are some colour samples of the latest wedding invitation I've been working on. Chris and Caroline wanted the whole day to reflect 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' I think partly because Caroline is a drama teacher and partly because it just generally sparks up beautiful imagery when you think of a midsummer wedding, good theme guys, well done!

I hope I've done it justice here and C&C's reactions certainly gave me the feeling that I had, as they hardly wanted any changes (this design is pretty much the first draft I sent)

I'm just finalising all of the little bits to go with it, RSVP's and information sheets, envelopes etc, then I will start printing for the invitations to be ready to send out it April.

I will post up proper photos when they're all done and looking a bit more profesh.

p.s. Can you guess which colour they went for?

My new obsession is buying fonts for my new Adana 3-5 printing press, what a dream!!

I haven't actually attempted to use it yet because I haven't got all the gubbins you need to hold the text in the.... chase(!?!). But once I'm up and running I'm going to be able to do lovely, lovely letterpress which I'm really excited about.

I've become a bit obsessed with machinery ever since I started watching 'How Its Made' on Quest, which is one of the channels near Babestation. Look out for it, its much more gripping than slutty girls, promise. Plus there are some second-to-none puns which are worth watching out for.

I've been working on a few projects recently, Including a bit of printing of some illustrations I did a while ago. I finally got round to printing them for a sale I did at the end of the year. Now I've decided to start up an etsy shop to sell my prints on. Its a bit baron at the moment so I'm going to spend the next few weeks working on some new stuff to sell.

Recently, me and my good friend Jacqueline Ford were asked to make a film about Rob Ryan. Rob was asked by Heathrow to design a card for them to give out to their passengers. Here's the film which hopefully explains it all!

Here are some business cards I made for Short Round Music. Short Round Music are a company who produce music for interactive media. They wanted some business cards to reflect their new website so I printed these in dark grey onto thick card with a striking golden yellow edge. Half of the cards were also printed on the back with a grey diagonal stripe and half were left blank for note making!!

I have a new email address if anybody wants any stationary designed and printed, please contact me on info@libertywright.co.uk.

Amy and James have a black and white theme for their wedding in September 2011 so they wanted to reflect that in the invitation. They were also keen to include some illustrations of birds so on the front of this invite you can see two birds trying the knot. Get it? This theme runs throughout the whole invite which you can see in the knotted rope repeat in the lined envelope, the knotted rope around the border of the invitation and sillhouetted in the RSVP.

The invitations and RSVPs are hand-screen printed on thick 700gsm white card, with a contrasting black envelope which is lined in the same white (120gsm) paper and a information sheet with directions and accomodation tips for guests.
the RSVP postcard is printed with their address and pre-stamped for their guests to tick a box and put in the post.

Pretty excited for the wedding!

Wedding Invites

I've just finished printing wedding invitations for the lovely Charlotte and Scott! The invitations are designed and hand screen printed by me on thick 700gsm card. In with the invitation goes an RSVP postcard, also hand printed with a matching design on the front and an addressed response on the back (I've taken this out on the photo as I don't want to post their address all over the internet....) Charlotte and Scott sent these out with a stamp on the postcard so their guests just have to tick a box and pop it in a postbox!
I'm currently working my next wedding invite and will post up pics as soon as they're finished!

Printing

2010-11-21T23:20:00.003Z

For the past couple of days I've been busy printing for the exhibition I'm showing some work in starting this thursday.
The theme of the exhibition is secrets, so I've based my work on the novel The Secret Garden and painted a bunch of flowers.
This is probably the most ambitious print I've done so far since leaving university as it was 8 colours onto silk, but it worked suprisingly well and I'm really happy with how is looks so far.
I've still got a bit more printing to do and then have to get them framed... cutting a it a bit fine as always.
Anyway, here are some photos of me printing, hungover in a freezing cold studio with 3 jumpers on. So naturally, I look incredible.
The exhibition starts on this thursday 25th November until Saturday 27th at The Red Lion in Hoxton Square, London. There are a bunch of us showing all different stuff so it should be pretty good.

Doing an invite for a 21st Harry Potter themed party.

The owl will have slits cut either side of it's beak and a card with all the info for the night will be stuck underneath as if it's holding it.

Pretty genius I know...

Print Club

2010-11-01T22:20:00.002Z

As it's the only way I get any work done, I decided to enter the recent competition for Print Club London to design and print a poster with a glow in the dark element.
I heard about the competition the day before the deadline so did this in one evening. I also learnt how to do perspective (badly) in this same evening, so I'm pretty unsure of the whole drawing as it's nothing like anything I've ever done or attempted to do before.
Obviously, I didn't get in, but at least I sort of learnt how to draw stars on a ceiling with my mum talking me through it on the phone.
Glow-in-the-dark stars on a ceiling was the fanciest thing I could think of to do with glow in the dark ink.....oops

I've been working on a new idea for an exhibition that I'm possibly going to be in. I'm not quite sure exactly how I'm going to make it work but it'll be super cool if it does go to plan. Here's the beginning stages.....
I will update when I've got somewhere with it!

Here's the dress that Kay at ClothKitsmade out of the fabric that I designed for them.
I think she's done a brillo job, I love the shape and it was perfect for the Vintage festival. Apparently it got a lot of attention and good feedback, although it was probably mainly from me...... Thanks Kay!

2010-07-22T18:58:00.002+01:00

So I won the competition! if you go to this link you can see the final design and the nice things that the lady at cloth kits said about me.

I didn't have a picture for this post so I put a picture of what I had for dinner. Which is in my top 5 favourite dinners of the moment.

YAY I WON!

I've been working on a textile print design for a competition set by clothkits to design a modern fabric designed in a vintage style for the launch of Vintage at Goodwood event at Goodwood racecourse this summer.
I have a close association with Goodwood as my dad invented commentary through headphones at Goodwood in the 80s and so I was really interested to enter this competition with a textile design based on the events I have seen there throughout the years; Horse racing, vintage cars and aviation. All the images are hand-drawn by me and then coloured digitally.

Anyway, enough blabbing, here is my entry:

Window decals

2009-11-01T14:14:00.002Z

I've decided to enter a competition to design some christmas window vinyls for a coffee shop in London. The prize is £1000 and the chance to have your artwork displayed on the window for the christmas period, which would be flippin sweet.

This is what I have come up with so far.....

so here are some images of one design printed onto silk organza. everything in this design and many others is inspired by flight. basically, bits of planes... pretty deep and conceptual i think you will find.

photo quality isn't looking fantastic here but i thought i'd better get something up quicksnap.
